Lyrics

There's an old lady in town

She talks herself to sleep laying on the ground

But she used to be somebody's mama

Not so long ago


Where could her family be?

How could this happen ...Maybe you and me

Life wasn't this hard

Not so long ago...


And I know this isn't easy to believe

But its gonna get harder

Before it gets easier ...easier


Life is hard enough

Its no illusion ...It will take you away

Everybody wants some Everybody needs some

Why can't we give it away?

Thicker than blood... Thinner than water

Why does it run away?


There sits a child all alone

Under a street lamp so far away from home

Reminds me of someone I knew not so long ago

Where could he come from? Where will he go?

Don't have the answers, but I want to know

He used to be somebody's child not so long ago.
